barbieq25 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Interesting entries in the letterbox comp. In Australia we call them mailboxes. The boxes are very much like the US type but they don't have a flag so you have to go out to the mailbox & open it to see if you have mail. Lovely entries so far too!

(cos you were too lazy to go...) At least, that's what I was told. 😊 Quote My Art Gallery | My Shape Packs | ShapeMaker Mini Tut | Air Bubble Stained Glass Chrome Text with Reflections | Porcelain Text w/ Variegated Coloring | Realistic Knit PatternOpalescent Stained Glass | Frosted Snowman Cookie | Leather Texture | Plastic Text | Silk Embroidery Visit my Personal Website "Never, ever lose your sense of humor - you'll live longer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Oh really? I did not know that! We have to take our mail to the post office. Only incoming mail gets dropped in ours. How cool!

Manc Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 In the UK and Ireland they're called post boxes. That's where you post your letters. They are not only outside post offices but dotted around every town and city. Letter boxes are the slot in your front door to receive mail. Not done a pic yet. Hopefully by the weekend.🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Gosh, how different we all are! I see on the telly that people get letters dropped through a slot in their front door. Our houses are very different as are our streets. How cool to have letters dropped through your front door! I have to walk down the stairs, along the garden path to the mailbox to collect any letters. Not that we get many. Just some bills BUT crystal deliveries are soemtimes found in there too Wayyyyy too big for a slot in the door. Hope to see your entry soon. Doubt if I will get time but you never know Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry. April Jones, 2012 Gallery My DA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed color, gradient, or any old thing? I assume fixed color, but thought I'd ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say a fixed color of your choice, or a simple gradient.

If gradients are allowed, I suggest that perhaps two fixed colors separated by a horizontal boundary also be allowed. The lower color could represent a surface upon which the ice cube rests, and the upper color, a background. It could used to help emphasize the ice cube's refractive aspect. Perhaps even two gradients separated by a horizontal boundary, if we want to get really fancy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJW Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 3 hours ago, Pixey said: Yes, it says that in the notes. It actually says a black background. I think it should be changed to a dark background. Otherwise, neither of the current entries would qualify. If it is a dark background, it would probably be best to specify the limits: whether it can just be a flat color, a gradient, or something resembling clouds. It's sort of tricky, because both the current entries have a suggestion of clouds, but no attempt at a detailed rendering. Too much detail in the clouds might make it too much about the clouds, assuming all the attention is intended to be focused on the lightning. However, if the goal is the render both the lightning and the stormy sky, that might make sense, also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Oops - I had it saying dark in Rule#1, but mentioned black at the beginning. I will change that. I will leave it as a dark background, as it's up to the entrant to decide a gradient, or whatever. I think too many rules it gets a bit pedantic.

lynxster4 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 @Pixey Hi. Are we forced to use a 'black' background for the Subatomic Particle. I'd like to use a shade of gray or none at all, depending... Thanks!

Scooter Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Background? Well I used black, it helps me show the intricate very fine lines (also in black). That I was able to do using my skills and a black light. EDIT: I changed my entry to, I assume, better comply with the instructions. 🙏 Edited November 9, 2021 by Scooter Quote Scooter Age is only a number --in my case a Really BIG number, but there you have it When the prefect paint.net image is created, I will still be wondering "How they Do that?"- sigh☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I think it is just fine to use a black or dark gray background, So Pixey has done the best and most gracious thing, ------for the rest of you . Above is meant to be: 1) funny 2) amusing 3)silly. Do Not Think It is meant to be a serious comment , so do not take it that way. 1 Quote Scooter Age is only a number --in my case a Really BIG number, but there you have it When the prefect paint.net image is created, I will still be wondering "How they Do that?"- sigh☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
